Tips and tricks

  • Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
  • Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
  • Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
  • Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
